A Final Disposition Made of Martinsville's
Artesian Well.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
MARTINsvILLE, Sept 3O.-The final dsposi-
ton of the artesian well in this city was made
yesterday evening by the stockholders of the
conf any, and at the same time free access to
the water was secured to the people of Martins
vile and visitors to the city. When the COM
pany was organized to bore for natural gas the
articles of association included water The di
rectors of the company leased a strip of ground
to bore for natural gas, oil, water and coal.
The word "water" was afterward strick-
en- out by agreement between the
owner of the ground. Mr.. Barnard. and the
president of the company. At the depth OF 64o
feet one of the best flows of artesian water in
tie State was found. A continuation Of the

troversy arose between the company and Mr..
Barnard as to which the rehtful owner of

ton failed, until yesterday evening. when

houses, ETC.. and secure the free use of the
water to the people for drinking purposes, the
profits from the bath houses and the shipping OF
water to accrue to himself. was &C.
cepted by the company. Mr.. Barnard
will improve the advantages thus
granted as possible. The medicinal
qualities of the water are unquestioned and have
already met with more than ample proofs. At
least 700 barrels of water flow from the well
daily. The reputation of the water is readily
shown by the fact that it is shipped TO all points
along the !. & V. and F. F. & NJ. railways. and
is hauled to Bloomington regularly and sold
there, and is taken away in jugs, kegs and bar
rels by almost every one who comes to this city
in a conveyance. 1t is thought that this well is
moro valuable than would have been find of
natural gas nor is it a case of sour grapes.

New Y YORK, March 25.-Louisa Hatfield

She had been outraged. She died later at
the hospital. George Benson. owner of a
saloon found the woman III the hallway
unconscious. The saloon had not been
opened, and the private door leading to the
street was bOlted on the inside. How the
woman got there is mystery. The saloon
keeper declares that he did not open the
doors Of the saloon or private entrance
The theory is that the woman was taken
into the house by SOME one inside last
night and either assaulted and struck on
the head with blunt instrument or fell
down stairs and received her injuries Ben
son, Jr., was the last man in the house last
night. He says he closed the door and

says he came down stairs shortly after
O'Clock and the woman was not there.

Special 70 the Globe.
MADISON, Wis. March 25.--Both houses
of the legislature passed one of the best
days Of the session to-day. In the assem-
bly, lengthy wrangle over the free pass
question was had in which the members
seemed to manifest more interest one way
or another than they have shown in previ-
Gus matters. The bill was one introduced
by Mr.. Taylor requiring the railroads to
furnish. i'll addition to their license fee,
full transportation 10 all members of the
legislature and the officers thereof, judges
of courts Of record, state officers and sher-
IFS. WmanS offered an amendment, which
was adopted, prohibiting the issuance of
trip passes at the request of members. The
friends OF the bill argued that 1t would be a
step toward abOlshing the free pass nui
sance and maintained that if the companies
were compelled to provide the legislature
with free transportation it would relieve
members from all obligations in return for
favOrS granted. The opponents thought
that no discrimination III the matter should
be made and argued if any action was to be
taken in the matter passes should
be abolished entirely and no more
TavorS shown to state officers than
To the people at large. The bill
was hnally passed by vote OF 40 TO 33, but
it is doubtful if it will work its way through
the senate. The members are pretty geil-
orally sick of the annoyance they are put to
on account of the free pass system. and to
show TO what an extent it is carried it may
be mentioned that up to the present time
the St. Paul company alone has issued %
800 passes at the request of members and
the other companies have been equally gen
erOuS. Many are modest enough to request
ANIMALS, several have asked transportation
to California and one man wanted pass
for himself and wife to Germany and back.

PHILADELPHIA, March 25.-As resul
of the publication in the Philadelphia

terest of the gamblers, Mr.. HoecL-
ley brought criminal suit for
libel and a civil suit for $50. OO0 damages
against the editor and publisher Of the
Times. To-day Hoeckley's counsel notified
the district attorney and the editors of the
Times that his client had decided to with
draw the criminal suit and allow the case to
rest entirely upon the civil suit for DANA
yes. Mr.. Hoeckley has been until HOW
(aIthough his resignation had been placed
in the hands of his superiors) merely sus-
pended from duty until an investigation
should establish his guilt or innocence: but
to morrow's Press will say editorially that
if Mr.. Hoeckley is innocent of the charge
made against him, he has committed
grave, if not fatal error in withdraw
ing his criminal suit and that his cOnnec-
ton with the Press had ceased absolutely.

fact that he has not been arrested, though

the Blue river. Ten years more elapsed
before the suspected criminal was arrested.
The case has been in the courts for the past
five years and three times has the prisoner
been sentenced to hang. An appeal to the

imprisonment was the last effort of the
friends Of the doomed man.
